Everyone in the Li family was satisfied with the meal, except for the neighbor who was not satisfied. After finishing the dinner, the four members of the Li family slumped on chairs to eat.
"Hiccup~, my son's skills are pretty good!" Father Li took a sip of tea water to rinse his mouth.
"It's okay, not as delicious as my mother's." Li Ming praised it, after all, the Queen Mother was here.
Mother Li gave Li Ming a look that said, "Lao Li, you go wash the pots and dishes today."
Father Li had a question mark on his head, "No, I am working at Level 6 today!"
"Then you have to go too."
"I will make more money for our family from now on."
Li Rui pouted at the side, "Dad, you have to go, so stop struggling."
"Okay, I thought I could enjoy this good life for a few more days, but I didn't expect that I would be gone today." Father Li sighed and refilled his cigarette.
Li Ming raised his watch and looked at the time. It was past seven-thirty, "Mom, I'm going out to eat."
"Okay, stay safe!"
"My dear, I also want to go out to eat." Comrade Li Weiguo said expectantly from the side.
"You wash the pot and it's enough for you to eat. My son has worked hard today. He bought you meat, cigarettes and alcohol, and cooked for you. What did you do?"
"It's okay."
Li Rui looked happy when she saw her father being exhausted every day. She turned around and went back to the house with her homework. Although I have finished my homework, I still have to go back to the house early to save myself from being stretched out for a while.

Comrade Li Ming walked to the alley opposite the cooperative and leaned against the wall, his eyes fixed on the horse-faced Comrade opposite the counter selling tobacco and alcohol.
When the lights were turned off in the cooperative across the street, a group of working salesmen came out in small groups. The solitary person with a horse face looked quite pitiful. This shows that this thief is not popular in the cooperative.
Li Ming waited until Ma Lian was far away before following him.
However, the more he followed, the more familiar the route became. Li Ming saw the horse's face as he entered the alley, and then found a courtyard house with red lanterns.
"Damn it, if I remember correctly, this should be the Bada Hutong!"
"It seems that the last fight was here. Why did this horse-faced guy come to Bada Hutong? I remember Zhou Tian told me that there is a red lantern hanging on the door that lights up at night. It doesn't seem like he is doing anything serious."
Li Ming fumbled for a cigarette from his trouser pocket and lit it for himself. He was going to wait for his grandson to come out and give him a surprise. He originally thought it was a long-term project, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished smoking the cigarette, the horse-faced man suddenly stopped. The courtyard came out.
"What the hell, you are so stupid." Li Ming was surprised to see Ma Lian moving so fast, but he quickly followed him without thinking, just as Ma Lian was about to step out of the alley.
A woven bag filled with the smell of chicken daddy fell from the sky and put the horse's face in it. It is worth mentioning that this woven bag was the same one that Comrade Li Ming used to hold poultry, and it had a strong smell.
Ma Lian had just come out of comfort and was feeling extremely relaxed. Unexpectedly, he was put in a sack!
"Who! Damn it! Believe it or not, I won't sell you anything in the future." A muffled voice came from inside the sack, accompanied by bursts of retching.
"Good guy, this guy is so bold!" Li Ming muttered, raised his fist and started to hit the sack. He didn't stop until the person inside couldn't curse anymore.
"Okay, finish digesting and go home." Glancing at the woven bag, Li Ming felt that the calf had vomited inside, so he still resisted and took it out.
The horse covered his face and said, "Stop fighting, uncle, don't fight. I didn't see anything. Please let me go."
Li Ming was delighted, this guy is quite sensible, not bad! He took the sack and left, leaving the horse face howling in the alley.
The courtyard of the steel rolling mill.
Li family.
"Mom, I'm back!" Li Ming said to his mother and went to his bedroom to get ready for bed. He had a fulfilling day today and he planned to have a good rest and go to bed early.
Jia's house in the middle courtyard.
Ever since Jia Dongxu came back, he had been sullen, as if someone owed him a lot of money, and he didn't even say a word during dinner in the evening.
"Dongxu, it's okay. Let's just try harder next time." Mrs. Jia Zhang couldn't stand it anymore and sat on the kang to persuade her.
Qin Huairu said while squeezing Jia Dongxu's shoulders, "It's okay, Dongxu."
After a while, Jia Dongxu opened his mouth, "I didn't say much at first, but when I came back tonight, I passed by the Li family, and the boy from the Li family even laughed at me."
Mrs. Jia Zhang was furious when she heard this. It was remarkable that she was reluctant to talk about her own treasures, so how could she allow others to criticize her? He immediately got up and went to Li's house to talk.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Qin Huairu asked quickly when he saw his evil mother-in-law getting up and going out.
Jia Zhang said angrily, "What am I going to do? I'm going to find that bastard from the Li family! You dare to laugh at our Dongxu, you're going crazy!"
Jia Dongxu seemed to have thought of Li Ming's move to open the door, and quickly stood up and grabbed Jia Zhang, "Mom, it's okay, don't go out this late at night."
"I'm fine!"
"Hmph, then I'll talk to the Li family tomorrow." Jia Zhang sat down angrily again, probably because she was afraid that she would be beaten again when she went out at night.
Qin Huairu looked at this scene quite speechlessly. Why did she want to marry into the Jia family in the first place? I thought that since I had a sewing machine at home, and Jia Dongxu was a regular worker in the factory, I would be lucky if I married him.
It's good now, after taking the exam for many years, Jia Dongxu is still a second-level worker, so he still recognized Yi Zhonghai as his master. If he didn't have this master, he might still be working as a first-level worker now.
Not to mention the bleak atmosphere in the Jia family, other families in the courtyard who have passed the assessment are as lively as the Chinese New Year.
Yi family.
"Lao Yi, eat more meat and replenish your body."
"Your job is a laborious one, and it doesn't work if you don't have enough oil and water. I just happened to come across a tael of meat from the vegetable market today and bought it back." A mother said while putting meat into a bowl for Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai took two more pieces to Auntie, "Okay, I'll eat it and you'll eat it too!"
"Today's assessment went quite smoothly, haha." After saying that, he took a sip of wine.
The eldest mother seemed to have remembered something, "By the way, how was Dongxu's test today?"
After hearing this, the happy expression on Yi Zhonghai's face changed in half, "What else can I do? I've failed again. It's not as good as once."
"I haven't passed anything this time, and I don't know what I'm thinking about all day long!"
"Hey, it's okay. After all, Dongxu is still young. Let's take it slowly." The aunt's face also looked a bit sad. After all, Jia Dongxu was the chosen pensioner of the Yi family. It was very unreasonable to be unable to support him for so long.
